Murdoc hobbled out of the hospital with Noodle right by his side, "You feel better now?" She asked gazing up at him. Murdoc gritted his sharp teeth together for a moment claming down before he was able to answer, "Yes…I'm feeling much better now…" The truth was that Murdoc healed very quickly and always looked so bad anyways you couldn't really tell if he was healthy of not. But his answer was goon enough for Noodle, "Oh good! We go to park now?"
"Yes, we go to park now…"
"And have ice-cream?"
"And have ice-cream…and do what ever the hells else you want…"
After a short drive the mismatched pair found their way into the park. Luckily every one was at the zoo today and not at the park. Noodle ran off to the play ground with a squeal leaving Murdoc to grudgingly fallow, "Push me Murdoc-san!" the young girl implored, gabbing a swing, "yeah I'll push ya, ya little-" Muds grumbled darkly but still got behind her and began shoving the squeaky swing. "Higher Murdoc, higher!" she shrieked laughing, "If I push ya much higher you'll go over the top!" Murdoc yelled over her giggling. But Noodle didn't seem to mind, "HIGHER!" Murdocs eye twitched and he couldn't take it any more. He gave her and almighty push and she disappeared. "Noodle?" he asked stepping to where the swing had been, "Where are ya, Noodle-girl?" As an answer Murdoc heard a scream behind and above him then felt an intensely painful 'thud' to his back. Murdoc fell forward, white light and little 2D's dancing in front of his eyes. Apparently Noodle had gone over the bar and had come swinging around to clobber him from behind, "oh Murdoc-san! You ok?" the small girl asked bending down and stretching open one of his eyes. The beady blood-red eye twitched slightly and gazed up at Noodle, "yeah…I'm fine…" Murdoc sat up blinking shimmering stars from his vision. Noodle helped him up and sat him on a park bench, "you stay right here, k?" Murdoc nodded dumbly and leaned back. It was a few moments before he realized Noodle had run off, "Maybe it won't matter if I don't make her happy…" he said out loud, "I don't know if I'll even make it through this day…" he heard the little pattering feet and then the high happy voice of Noodle, "Look what I get for you!" Murdoc turned his head to look and found his face thrust into a large bouquet of flowers, "AAAAURG! ARE YA TRYIN' TA KILL ME?" he screamed backing away quickly, "what?" the young one asked confused, "I bring you pretty flowers! I find them over there…" Murdoc opened his mouth to scream some more but stopped. His face contorted and suddenly he made a most dreadful noise, "ah…ahhhh…..AH CHOOO!" he sneezed jerking his head back, "What wrong Murdoc?" she asked sitting next to him, "ACH! Nooble I'm allerdic 'oo dos kin' ob fwowers…geb dem awa….ah…AH CHOOOO!" Of course poor little Noodle had a hard enough time understand English and now that Murdoc was talking funny she had no idea what he was trying to tell her. She wondered if he was doing it just to be mean…she also wondered why his eyes were getting so puffy and his nose was running so bad. It took several minuets of confused arguing and about 7,354 sneezes before Noodle understood it was the flowers that were causing Murdoc so much pain, "I very sorry Murdoc-san…I not know flowers make you all red and puffy and…icky…" She said after she had tossed the flowers in the trash. Murdoc just grunted walking beside the violet haired girl. After a moment Murdoc felt something odd and looked down surprised. Noodle had intertwined her small fingers with his large scrawny ones and was looking up at him hopefully, "Murdoc really not angry with Noodle?" Murdoc felt an odd twitch in his chest as if his heart were trying to jerk out of his torso, "yeah…yeah I ani't mad at ya…" he said almost nervously. The fact that Noodle was looking up at him with something frighteningly close to love was simply terrifying him, "eh…look! There's th' ice-cream stand…" Noodle walked up and bought them two double-scoop ice-cream cones, "good…" Murdoc said taking the green ice-cream and examining the red circles, "I like mint…" the Satanist flicked out his unusual long tongue and took a sizable slurp, "what do you mean Murdoc?" Noodle asked watching his face scrunch up and his eyes screw shut, "This my favorite, wasabi and octopus…"
